My cousin got engaged last weekend, her birthday is next weekend and I am doing a gift basket and need a few ideas...she doesn't like candy and things like that. I want to do a birthday and engagement theme.....I figure I will get a couple of bridal magazines, other than that I need a few ideas. Thanks!

Birthday gift bag ideas?
Maybe I'm
I'm trying to think of something a little more imaginative for the 8 -9 year old girls attending my daughter's birthday party. There's only going to be about 5 or 6 attendees, so maybe in the $5-6 dollar range? Thanks in advance!

A fun and personal party favor could include having each guest design and decorate a t-shirts at the party. Or, you could make t-shirts commemorating the event with computer software beforehand. Then have all the guests autograph each shirt. They would have a unique reminder of the special day. My nephew has several of these and they were a real hit each time.
# t depends on what kind of party you're doing. Our favorite is always the craft stuff. I have several craft activities for the party and they get to take their craft plus one goodie (lollipop, gum, etc.) home. Crafts that we have done for various different parties include: Buy the first letter of the name of each child coming to the party in wood at the craft store. Set out with lots of different colors of craft paint.
# Buy glass ornaments and make marbleized painted ornaments.
# Buy colored (outside) pencils and a bunch of craft goodies (feathers, sequins, pipe cleaners, etc.) and decorate the pencils to make really fancy ones. Put the glue near the top so that you can sharpen and continue to use the pencil.
# Buy foam craft kits to make picture frames. They come pre-glued so no mess on that one.
# Buy t-shirts and fabric paint and let them decorate their own shirt.
# Lots of stickers and paper door hangers so they can make their own door hanger for their bedroom at home.
We like to purchase inexpensive picture frames or picture mats and as an activity at the party we decorate them. We also take a picture with each guest and the birthday girl at the party. When we write our thank you notes, we include the photo so they can put in the frame.
I have also found that the best party favors are the ones that children can use again such as a small box of crayons or a book or coloring book from the Dollar Stores. For my daughter's 4th birthday I was able to get 4 mini children's storybooks in a pack for $1 (thus 25 cents each) and paired it with a pack of crayons bought during the back-to-school sales (19 cents each). So each party favor bag cost 44 cents per bag. Or you could purchase a package of stickers and a pack of pencils and divide them up in the bags.
